The video definitely didn't seem serious or authentic with the gunshots and some of the lyrics, so I gave it a check. The song's creator said that it was a spoof. He's christian and it was at a christian event, but it was sort of a lighthearted, "we're christians that think the side hug thing is pretty silly" song. The event it was at does come down on public displays of affection though.

So yes, there's a Christian side hug, yes, it's ridiculous, but then again the Christians in this video agree with you.

But if you're bummed that your chance to rip on Christianity just evaporated... We can get back to the Pope's covering for child rapists!


Here we go, a religious believer acting like their religion has always been the victims again, all the time, and denying their religion has caused any negative impact in the world.

Typical methods to prevent themselves from understanding the clear points in the oppositions message.

I don't get what your saying. How are they acting like victims by making a funny rap spoof of a little known and lesser used practice by a handful of Christians (and really, even most Christians wouldn't know about the "side hug"). Christians are allowed to have a sense of humour you know. 

Unless your talking about me because you think I'm defending them AND being sarcastic about the pope statement. In that case, I wasn't being sarcastic, the Pope covered for child rapists. He should go to prison.

Oh... well, I misconstrued everything about your statements.

Sorry about that... xD

Quotes I was shown by my friend today that make me proud not to be a Christian. Sorry guys I have no online source but.

Miracles and Missions Digest: Jesus Compassion For an Aldulterous Women Dallas, TEXAS

"God will NOT ACCOMODATE any man or women to feed their lust of the flesh to allow hum or her to REMARRY... GOD only put two togethher--no more-- and they become ONE. And NO COURT or CHURCH LAW can amend that LAW! Marriage is NOT A NECESSITY-- God has made man and women so that they can live without sex. We do not expect "an old maid" who never got a chance to marry to have sex from time to time because she is lonesome or "has " to have sex. God says that if she ever did get a chance to marry, she could be put away immediately as soon as her husband discovered she was not a virgin."

This quote seems like it should be from the 1930's yet it comes out of modern day TEXAS, what trash!!!

Yes, because one church speaks for the whole of Christianity,which I remind you is comprized of literally thousands (perhaps even tens of thousands) of religious sects with apposing views. These guys are idots, I don't know the Bible as well as I should, but I would rip their little theory in half like a loaf of communion bread! (little bit of a religious reference) At any rate, at least this ideology does nothing bad for society and in most cases, is actually very helpful in making it through one's personal life. I am saddened to see you posting crap like this up and saying that people who have great faith in something (no matter how weird or twisted) and are doing society a service as a whole, are something that should be scorned. At least they believe in something.

I just get mad to think that men who write panphlets like this influence anyone. These ideas are degrading to women and it contains many more bad ideology that has no place in modern society. I probably should make it clear that I do not believe all Christianns are like this, but this guy has the audacity to send it to thousands of people in the mail. That is annoying and deserves ridicule. I will refrain from posting more bad examples of Christianity again, but it is certainly easy to find.    I respect anyones religous choice as long as it is not degrading to any sex, race, creed or sexual preferance. PEACE

Thats respectable. But you have to remember, Some things that are "degrading to women" in your opinion, are not degrading at all to many of the women that are "degraded" I tend to agree that religion as a whole is hypocritical and can be degrading (mainly due to the human influence in said religions) However, most religions also teach and encourage people to live in a moral and just way by teaching people that there is a higher power that all must answer to. Like it or not, this dwarfs any minor discrepancies that may (and do) occur (with the exception of egregious acts done by extremists...and there are some in every camp).

Eh, that's cool.

 

Bust just out of curiousity, which one did you take the wrong way? My defense of the group, or my pope statements?

For the record, I'm an atheist and religion scares the crap out of me.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

I never said you said I did... Just labeling myself as outside of that group.

And sure I'll admit it, except I can't say because I'm an infrequent watcher. But I find that their being political and culturally topical is usually a benefit to the show, as there tends to be a lot of humour in the truth. I think the Simpsons could have learned a lot from south park (or got off the air years ago to save face).

 

But I will never ever ever offer a single compliment to Family guy other than that Stewie was a funny character at the very beginning of the show. An evil genius with the naivete of a child was a great idea. Quickly turning him in to an one stop shop for every single stupid joke they could think of was a bad idea. I consider enjoying Family guy to be a character flaw.

I consider condescension a character flaw. 

Both shows are incredibly stupid, overly ridiculous, and full of so much political bias that it will almost make you want to puke. But they're stupid fun nonetheless. And both shows have equally shitty, predictable formulas; albeit in different styles.

Point is...Futurama is better than both.

Fair enough, and Futurama certainly is a fantastic show. Though My personal favourites are Home Movies and King of the Hill.

 

As for condescension. Sure, I've got a flaw. But I'll take being a condescending prick over being a Family guy fan any day.

Family guy is a shitty, unfunny and an insult to both intelligence and humour. I'll gladly be a flawed person for saying that.

Yes, because one church speaks for the whole of Christianity,which I remind you is comprized of literally thousands (perhaps even tens of thousands) of religious sects with apposing views. These guys are idots, I don't know the Bible as well as I should, but I would rip their little theory in half like a loaf of communion bread! (little bit of a religious reference) At any rate, at least this ideology does nothing bad for society and in most cases, is actually very helpful in making it through one's personal life. I am saddened to see you posting crap like this up and saying that people who have great faith in something (no matter how weird or twisted) and are doing society a service as a whole, are something that should be scorned.

PEACE

Thats respectable. But you have to remember, Some things that are "degrading to women" in your opinion, are not degrading at all to many of the women that are "degraded" I tend to agree that religion as a whole is hypocritical and can be degrading (mainly due to the human influence in said religions) However, most religions also teach and encourage people to live in a moral and just way by teaching people that there is a higher power that all must answer to. Like it or not, this dwarfs any minor discrepancies that may (and do) occur (with the exception of egregious acts done by extremists...and there are some in every camp). 

What you speak of dude sounds like cultural relativism. If certain cultures believe that one form of discrimination in one culture is normal while in another it is considred normal, that is cultural relativism. That is admidting that there are no universals and therefore one religion is not the absolute truth.

I agree that religion has done many great things still it does not make it for everyone. Religion has also been used to commit some of the worst travisties in the history of the human race. So I admidt there is good and bad to all religions.

A country of pure atheists/agnostics would probably also be a benevolent society that used altruism, yet was violent and discriminatory. In the end, I believe even a atheist/agnostic society would create some kind of religion, as it seems it is humanities nature to need an answer.

Glad to hear you have a new healthy baby girl!!!

Only if the question of "who am I?" wasn't answered for most people. If there was a culture that answered that without God then I'm sure it would remain without God.

But see, the difference is that neither Family Guy writers, nor myself, see the show as being the pinacle of comedy as you and MT claim South Park is.

I barely watch Family Guy, but at least I can kill a decent 15 minutes with it, than I can with South Park today. It's a shame, since I used to actually watch that show regularly. Now? Nope.


I've never claimed Southpark was the best cartoon, but watch this season's "Medicinal Kentucky Fried Chicken" Episode of South Park. It's freaking hillarious. 
And you don't kill 15 minutes with Family guy, it kills you for 15 minutes. Least funny cartoon on television before American Dad came out.

I never said you did...

And I'll watch it, only if you admit that there were some recently horrible seasons for South Park, that they were hypocrites, and why they're different now.

I never said you said I did... Just labeling myself as outside of that group.

And sure I'll admit it, except I can't say because I'm an infrequent watcher.

But I will never ever ever offer a single compliment to Family guy other than that Stewie was a funny character at the very beginning of the show. An evil genius with the naivete of a child was a great idea. Quickly turning him in to an one stop shop for every single stupid joke they could think of was a bad idea.

WTF are you talking about dude??? Family guy is millions times better than both Futurama (it got off air LOL, it was a flop) and South Park. Not saying they suck, i like both shows and watched almost every episode of it, but Family Guy has hundreds of awesome jokes, and it most certanly ISN'T POLITICLY BIASED in any way. South Park used to be better, but the latest seasons started to suck real bad, and it REALLY IS politicly biased sometimes. Stewie was the funniest character ever, before they decided to turn him gay.
